Exploring the differences Between Gnosis and Hermeticism: A Brief Survey of the Secret Religions of the West
“Their ultimate goal was the quest for knowledge but they did not share common paths to Knowing.”
Introduction
In this video I wish to explore, in brief the similarities and differences between Gnosticism and Hermeticism. It is not my intention to proved a definite answer or definition of either. This is video is not intended to be an all, end all exploration of these ancient esoteric cults. It is my intention to explore these ideas in the hope to provide a better understanding of Gnosticism and hermeticism, for the purpose of achieving more insight into our current “woke” culture wars. There is no one right way or path to Knowing. Enjoy!
